My parents and in laws. It’s a really, really big thing for their generation. You never share it, or ask.
It’s less of an issue with younger generation, but still important to be careful.
- dixie_land 5y agoI still think it’s good etiquette not sharing it. Either you humiliate yourself or you come off as bragging
- abustamam 5y agoIt really depends on the intention you have for sharing your salary. I have friends who want to get into software engineering and they ask me my salary history. Compared to industry standard, my salary is average at best, so it's a pitiful thing to brag about (not that money is ever not a pitiful thing to brag about) If you're at a party and no one is asking, certainly don't share it. Nothing is worse than being at a party with a guy who constantly says "By the way, I make $500k at Facebook" If for some reason salary is important to the conversation (for example talking about crypto or investing or just money in general) then sharing it can be appropriate. But the most important thing imo is that you read the room: if it's likely the people you're talking with make less than you, then probably don't share it, and certainly never complain about money or the price of things. If it's likely they are well off as well, then sure, complain about your mid-six-figure salary
